(Excalibur I#69 (fb) - BTS) - The Grand Jhar was a fleet of the
Shi'ar military sent forth on conversion missions to expand the borders of the
Shi'ar Empire, marrying other alien cultures to the Shi'ar. One branch of the
Grand Jhar was led by C'efn, a bloodthirsty commander, who received a new
recruit, Cerise, to his crew. The Grand Jhar bombed the alien Knsashii,
committing genocide on the peaceful race, figuring the survivors would be happy
to join the Shi'ar.

(Excalibur I#69 (fb)) - When Cerise saw the genocide, she was
disgusted and overwhelmed. C'efn excused his actions, and murdered a surviving
child to prove his point, telling Cerise she had better be prepared for their
next battle. Cerise was disgusted, however, and vowed to stop the Grand Jhar.

(Excalibur I#70 (fb)) - Cerise overrode the Grand Jhar's ship
controls and programmed it to fly into the heart of a nearby sun. She recorded a
message to the Shi'ar Empire explaining her actions, then abandoned ship. C'efn
and the others were all killed in the subsequent explosion.

(Marvel Comics Presents I#149/3 (fb) - BTS) - For some time the planet of the Aris race was harassed by a recruitment vessel of the Ghrand Jhar, but their planet's force field was powerful enough to protect them from the intruders.
